Chapter 209: Happy New Year
What can Ye Dongqing say? At this moment of crisis, he can only choose to change the topic, and avoid it, and run to his room to clean up his things.
Fortunately, Laura just asked casually, and did not break the casserole to ask the end, so he escaped again, the rise of various feminism, making the girls more and more difficult to deal with, of course, this refers to normal girls, money worshippers only care about money and interests, and everything else can be ignored, which is also one of the reasons why Richard Rockefeller and Edward Johnson Jr. and others do not fall in love, but only talk about skin, because there are no worries.
Returning to New York from the Hawaiian Islands, the plane landed at LaGuardia Airport on January 9th.
There was an accident in 2002, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, a lot has changed in him, his energy is not all focused on business, but he has also achieved a lot of achievements, a new issue of the rich list has come out, he ranks 94th among them, which takes into account factors such as debt and overvaluation, the value is set at 4.5 billion US dollars, the actual number should be higher.
In the last interview, Ye Dongqing already knew the approximate results in advance, and the people of Forbes also admitted that there would be a large error in the ranking, because real estate, overseas anonymous accounts, bearer bonds, antiques and so on cannot be counted, only 60% to 70% of the correct rate, just be a reference, there is no need to be too serious.
Some rich people are afraid of being in the limelight, and will deliberately hide part of their wealth, such as Li Chaoren in Xiangjiang, people can't find out his actual wealth at all, and can only make guesses based on superficial information.
His name was on the list for the first time, and he squeezed into the top 100, it must be a lie to say that he was not excited, every time he saw someone reporting on himself and praising his achievements, Ye Dongqing would be happy for a long time.
The influence is expanding, and he thinks that when the island is ready, he will hold a party to gather everyone he knows, which can be regarded as showing strength to people, and move around more in his daily life to maintain his connections, otherwise it will soon fade away.
......
Asking the doorman and Laura to help send the luggage home, Ye Dongqing came directly to the office building of Tamsui Investment Group, and the secretary took a lot of documents to him to sign after learning the news.
The assistant named William graduated from Yale, has an MBA degree, worked at Chase Manhattan Bank for two years, and also interned in the Secretary of State's office for half a year, and his ability is quite good.
Mr. Bernard Madoff transferred a billion dollars to our company's account, and it has not yet arrived, the amount is so large that it will take the bank two days to turnover, but we have received a confirmation call from the bank. In addition, I remember you ordered a plane, right, three days ago someone from Airbus called and said that the delivery time was going to be delayed until the end of 2007, or maybe four years later, and there seemed to be a problem with the production capacity, and asked if you could accept it. ”
"So long? Europeans are so slow to work hard, they should move their factories to other countries, so they are ashamed of Boeing's efficiency, no wonder they have been crushed by Boeing. ”
Ye Dongqing said unhappily, hesitated for a moment and added: "Forget it, help me ask if I can cancel the order, and ask Boeing's sales department to send someone to talk to me, and say that I plan to order a 747 converted into a private jet from them."
As for the old Bernard, I already know, he called me to communicate, called Mr. McCord, you go and sort out the development process of eBay and Amazon, the most detailed kind, including the division of all departments, the operation process, etc., I can use, organize it into an electronic file and send it to my mailbox. ”
"Okay, you'll be able to see it in your mailbox tomorrow morning, and I'll get in touch with you right away, Bo......eing."
After leaving for more than ten days, a lot of things have been backlogged waiting for Ye Dongqing to deal with, since Ms. Vigo left, Mr. McCord has become the second-in-command of Freshwater Investment Group, since the old Bernard Madoff has transferred the money, the matter of oil futures can be started.
Speaking of Vigo, not long after starting the business, there was a shareholder who withdrew because of a disagreement, and the fund company they jointly established was just over three million US dollars, Vigo invested in eBay, and its stock price trend has not been good recently.
In fact, she has regretted giving up a stable job and choosing to leave the company from Tamsui Investment Group to start a business, just think about it with feelings or something, reality has taught her a lesson, starting a business is not so easy.
She should also bear the consequences of her own decisions, for the company's operating officer, it is not that she has to be selected, Mr. McCord's ability has nothing to say, he comes very early every day and leaves last, except for some more important things, he will hardly let Ye Dongqing worry too much.
Now the Golden Island Wealth Management Company is also under his control, and for Ye Dongqing's "20 billion US dollar plan", the number of recruits is being reduced recently, and several heads of large states with insufficient capacity have been dismissed, and even the entire department has been disbanded.
After all, it is not a real insurance company, the money is returned to pay interest, a California, plus several metropolises on the east coast of the United States, is enough to realize the plan to raise 20 billion US dollars, plus the investors on the Internet, the Golden Island Wealth Management Company can gradually withdraw, it is better to lay off employees now than to lay off later, it can save expenses, and a temporary employment contract was signed at the beginning.
If it raises $20 billion, the annual dividend will be as high as about $1.7 billion, and it is still compound interest, and the dividend is more and more year by year, which is not in line with the company's long-term interests.
After receiving the notice, McCord quickly came over, knocked on the door and came to Ye Dongqing's office, and said bluntly: "There are 2.6 billion US dollars in cash lying on the company's account now, 200 million US dollars in warrant contracts expired in May, and 80 million US dollars in June. ”
"Alibaba, a Chinese Internet company, if possible, I want to hold as many shares as possible, and you are responsible for this.
I will use the old Bernard's money to see more oil futures, this long-term holding, the interest will definitely be earned, those oil merchants are very ambitious, the current profit is not enough to satisfy their appetite, I will have a meal with Goldman Sachs in the evening to talk about this business......"
